Some of the topics which were discussed in this ITIL Conference were:

• ITIL – Past, Present and Future: In the second half of the 1980s, the UK government concluded that, while strong methods existed for the development of IT systems, there was little non-proprietary advice available for the management of IT services. It therefore set about creating a body of 'best practice' guidance for the live running of services, which it called 'The IT Infrastructure Library'.

• itSMF Executive Overview: This Executive Overview of IT Service Management, presented by the itSMF (IT Service Management Forum), provides the attendee with a high level introduction to what it takes for an IT organization to achieve business and IT alignment, repeatable processes and demonstrable IT service value. It introduces the basic concepts of IT Service Management as described within the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL).
